"The perfect place to relax and spend a quality time. Very close to supermarket, restaurants and beaches. The staff is amazing and very welcoming."

Matala Hostel
7.8 (7 reviews)

Matala Hostel ★★

📍 Epar.Od. Gortinas - Matalon, Matala

"Excellent place with a friendly and very helpful host. The kitchen is clean, well-equipped, and there’s plenty of space throughout the hostel. I especially enjoyed the pool. Overall, I highly recommend this place. The only thing I missed was a bit more social atmosphere, but it’s still early in the season. Matala is a lovely location, and this hostel offers great value, especially when booking on their website."

Idi Hotel
9.1 (47 reviews)

Idi Hotel ★★

📍 Zaros, Faistos

"I visited the hotel Idi in the early 1990s and had a very relaxing stay. The experience was so good and I had so many delightful memories that I decided to return. Of course there have been many changes and upgrades in the intervening years; new buildings housing more rooms, smarter and bigger dining areas - but what has not changed is the sense of tranquility and the high level of personalised customer service. The owners and their team work extremely hard providing excellent services but they do it happily and with enthusiasm. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at the hotel Idi for a refreshing break in a beautiful, secluded location that is also a hub for easy access to the rest of the island of Crete."

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments
8.1 (28 reviews)

Matala Bay Hotel & Apartments ★★★

📍 Matala, Matala

"This was disappointing. Booked a room for 4 and was told when I got to the hotel that there were no rooms available, but I should get an extra bed in the room. When we returned after dinner at the restaurant at midnight, there was no bed. The person at the reception just said that there was no bed available. Got an extra room on another floor. This room was filthy and had no working A/C! No refund or compensation after discussions with the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel was far below average. This hotel is not recommended! There are many other local rooms and houses that maintain a much better standard at a lower price!"

Matala Dimitris Resort
8.2 (33 reviews)

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★

📍 XQW4+28, Matala Main Road, Matala

"Worst experience in a hotel: absolutely avoid. I wouldn't even call the Dimitris Villa a "hotel": it's a country house masquerading as a tourist facility. We had booked a double room, but without any prior notice, we were assigned a single with two tiny beds, barely suitable for children. The bedding was embarrassing: a simple sheet placed directly on the mattress, without a mattress protector—definitely unhygienic (I've attached a photo). The room was cramped, not soundproofed (we could hear every word from the neighbors), and the bathroom was unusable: the shower and sink were completely clogged. The check-in (after 3:30 PM) and check-out times are inconvenient, and there's no real reception. The breakfast is extremely basic and definitely not worth the extra cost. But the worst came on the second day: after returning from a day at the beach, we found the room exactly as we'd left it—no cleaning, no towel change. After reporting the problem to the agency, they lied, saying they'd contacted us to fix the room, which never happened. I just wanted to leave, even if it meant losing my money! Non-existent service, neglected property, don't be fooled by the photos: this place is anything but a hotel. A complete scam!"

Melissa Hotel Hotels in Faistos

Melissa Hotel

"Hotel Melissa was absolutely fantastic! Very quiet, because it wasn't near the noisy center of Matala. The swimming pool wasn't cold even though the weather was still rather cool. The rooms and restaurant were spotlessly clean. The matrasses comfortable. Breakfast abundant and with a lot of choices. The owner very friendly and helpful. We loved the musquito screens, which allowed us to sleep with the balcony door open. We only used the airco for a few hours, but it was working very well. If you have mobility problems ask for a room near the restaurant, so that you don't have to use the stairs that lead to the other rooms."

Valley Village Hotels in Faistos

Valley Village

"NOT RECOMMENDED!! We are probably the first with a negative experience. (after reading the reviews above) For us, NEVER again Valley Village. We had to ask for clean towels ourselves for our entire stay. A major downside! Which made the owners find us annoying. This was abundantly clear during their non-verbal communication. When the accommodation is full, we cannot all eat within the 2 hours offered in the evening in bad weather (for dining). The dining area is large and spacious, especially outside. But too small for all guests, when an accommodation keeps expanding without adjusting the dining area accordingly. The rooms are very noisy; you cannot sleep without earplugs. The many cats roaming around take some getting used to, because there really are a lot of them. If you do not like cats, or are afraid of them, then this is definitely not the accommodation to stay at. Because there are +/- 15 cats. (Large and lots of small kittens) There is no evening entertainment; at this accommodation, you have to entertain yourself. There is an elevator, which is handy if you need to take your suitcase to the 1st or 2nd floor to get to your hotel room. ONLY THE ELEVATOR DOESN'T WORK! It is certainly a family hotel. Suitable for the elderly and for families to stay in Valley Village. It is not recommended for couples, young or old, who prefer to be on their own. The swimming pool is not inviting; there is a dirty yellow rim from grime in the larger pool. The pool is not large, rather too small for the accommodation. The breakfast is extensive and well-prepared, as is the dinner. The waitress Christina deserves a feather, a star; a big compliment for her cheerfulness and service to and for the guests at the accommodation during dinner. Unfortunately, there are more downsides than upsides. Once again, never again Valley Village for us; we find it old junk, not a pleasant stay. We will definitely go to Matala again, but never, really never again to Valley Village! Not recommended! The rooms are super basic, the price-quality ratio is not right. The cleaning is minimal. Besides the fact that there were no towels upon arrival, there was half a loaf of brown bread in the wardrobe 😳. Which made us wonder if the room had actually been cleaned. Additionally, the building is very noisy. The room above the dining/restaurant area is noisy and you cannot sleep without earplugs. Furthermore, the refrigerator makes a lot of noise as well. All in all, the rooms don't deserve any awards for cleanliness. The center of Matala is amazing; there is live music somewhere every evening. Great. 👍🏼 Safety at Valley Village is fine, except that the hotel rooms are vulnerable to break-ins, both at the door of the hotel room and in the balcony room. Matala itself left a positive impression; no police, no crime, relaxed environment, especially in the center of Matala, or rather on the square from Matala, it is very safe. From Valley Vil"

Calypso Hotel ★★
"We stayed at this property in Matala from 2 to 10 September, in room 19 (2 adults and 1 child). The hotel is very simple, in an excellent position to go to both the beach and the centre of Matala, and there is a very pleasant swimming pool. Our room was spacious and nice with a basic and repetitive breakfast. We had an unpleasant experience, as we had deposited our documents and cash in the safety deposit box (lockable), from which unfortunately €600 was stolen, €350 from my wallet and €250 from my husband's. We have been going on holiday to Crete in this area for years, for the first time in this hotel that we did not know, but nothing like this had ever happened to us. We returned very disappointed and bitter, €600 is not a trifle...."

Matala Hostel ★★
"I stayed at this hostel for one night during a music festival, and I had a really positive experience. The room was clean, the staff were very polite and helpful, and they even provided me with an extra blanket when I asked. The location is excellent—right next to the bus stop, just a 5–7 minute walk to the beach, and close to the city center. The room had a proper renovation, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and I slept comfortably. Overall, I enjoyed my stay"

Idi Hotel ★★
"We spent two wonderful weeks at the Idi Hotel in Zaros and were delighted by the hospitality of this family-run establishment. The hotel's location at the foot of the majestic Psiloritis Mountains is spectacular. The rooms were comfortable and clean, equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We were impressed by the family atmosphere – the staff was always helpful and made us feel at home. Breakfast with local products was a daily highlight, and the proximity to the charming village of Zaros allowed us to experience authentic Cretan life. The hotel is very good value for money, and we will definitely return when we visit Crete again. Thank you for the wonderful time."

Matala Dimitris Resort ★★★
"Dimitrs resort was a great find. Friendly helpful staff,great swimming pool and ice cold beer.The rooms have a shady outside area(which is good when extremely hot).The room was clean and the a/c was cold. Good family rooms with 2 bed plus bunk beds. The evenings there are quiet and peaceful. Quick tip,there's no kettle in the room but ask and it's no problem to get 1. Also smart tv in the room which is a big plus. Dimitri himself is a good guy and will try to help you as much as he can.Thanks for the glasses."

Elea Terra Hotel ★★★
"Eléa Terra Hotel in Matala is a very nice Place. Maria and her team is lovely and allways helpful. Breakfast is excellent, fresh and you can est as much as you want. The cleaning ladies are working hard, thus the rooms, beds and towels are allways clean. Alexandro is the best Barkeeper @ poolbar and a helping hand to Maria. Thanx for the Raki. 🙂 From the Hotel it is less than five minutes to Walk to the Beach and there is a Bus stop directly in front of the Hotel. You can visit the Ruins of Faistos, a saturday market in Moires. Besutiful is the Red Beach. Besutiful Bars and Shops in Matala with best Gyros. Nice towns like Pitsidia, Kamilari or Kalamaki can be visited by foot, too. See you next Summer!"

Armonia Hotel ★★★
"ATTENTION, SCAM ! Don’t fall for the pictures and reviews as i did. If you‘re looking for a place with furniture of the 1960‘s and atmosphere of a bad horror movie of the 1980‘s, that‘s the place to be! The weird -and sometimes really scary- owner Olympios is ruling his place like a Maharadscha for now 33 years, selects who can stay at his hotel (his words), no internet in the rooms, no TV, the pool is closed before 8am and after 8pm (but is not inviting anyway, directly beside the street, no shade, basic sunbeds without pillows…). But the worst about this place is the lack of atmosphere and renovation. Gives you a permanent feeling of being closed in a place where you do not want to be, horrible. And it was almost empty when we were there which made it even more suspicious…I took some picture where you can see state of the bathrooms, the reception with a switchboard on the right that is so old that it is almost cool (but also a bit scary!)….my 2 teenage boys were so scared and disappointed when arriving at the place (as me) that we immediately looked for another one. We stayed one night instead of the 5 booked and Olympios refused to pay back the difference of the down payment referring to a special law in Greece. THINK 3 TIMES BEFORE YOU BOOK THIS PLACE AND VISIT IT BEFORE IF YOU CAN !"
